Billault, on the 1 Itli June, charged him with i playing into the hands of England, and arraying) Fi ance in the same ranks with that ambitious i to counteract the policy of an old and faithful man- time ally, the Lnited States. lie moreover charged him with an open leaning to the interests of Eng- land in the Texas case, which, if true, brands him I with odium in the eyes of every true American thls matter-the truth or falsehood of the charge 1 against the French Minister, there is a wide latitude of opinion Oft this side the Atlantic, a far greater diversity of views, indeed, than on the other; where through an increased infusion into the minds of the I i kb, eith of hatred, jealousy, or terror of this country, they are more unanimous in making common cause against her than thev could menu Occasion- as to the semimeats of M.

It is said that Gen. Almonte, the ex-Mexican Minister to this country, is to be appointed a member of the Cabinet, and the papers consider it as proof that the government intends to take vigorous measures in relation to the situation of Mexico with the Untied States, about the affairs of Texas. The next arrivals from Mexico, now that Texas has come out in favor of immediate annexation, wtll contain matters of great and grave importance.

The appearance of these troopa.it is said, was highly creditable to them, and they made a brilliant and soldierlike display. The citizens of Albany who saw them as they paraded through the streets of that city, were much pleased with their martial appearance. Our military, in particular, seem to have attracted general attention there, and have been during their stay the object of a warnt welcome and a hearty hospitality. Their visit must have been consequently rary agreeable and delightful, and will prove of practical usefulness to them.

Drills, inarching, parade and nights of severe exercise have been the consequence, and so strong has the rivalry become, diat from a decided esprit du rorpi it has assumed the shape of a pergonal feeling with every member of these illustrious warriors, and one which yesterday rise to rather an awkward collision at a well known military resort in Fulton street. A number of each of the rival companies, got into a tough argument about the comparative merits and pretensions of their respective corps, which went through the regular gradation of warmth, keenness, bitterness, and at last came to blows, one ol them who called the other liar, receiving for his tree use of language, return in hard coin exactly the bridge of the nose, out of whioh indispensable and military-like organ a pretty copious discharge of blood trickled down his uniform. "Ground arms" roared the Captain "stand back," said Corporal C. et me at him," gasped the woundud You have the first blood, I'll have the last." For several minutes the ol things looked excessively stormy, but as it happened, the number ol pacemakers pro lent, far outweighing those who had a stomach for the real thing, the combatants were separated, the noiue quelled, and a short interval of order served to reconnoitre the field of action and the state of parties. This was but of short duration The hero of the bloody nose looked down and saw his superfine coat stained with his blood, and the knight of the hard kuuckles was heard to indulge in several half audible observations about the superior training of his company, as illustrated in his dexterous application of his Jrxtra manus.

The air Salut a la France, which she sang with so much grace and expression, must be still present to the mind of her admirers. To say that Maddie. Calve is going to appear is enough to secure a numerous audience, yet the enterprising and gentlemanly director ol the French company, wishing to show to the public of this city, that he wishes to omit nothing to obtain their approbation und deserve their patronage, has added to this already very great inducement, a vaudeville o' a very entertaining character, It Roman d'une heure, in which Mad'lle Richer, another favorite of the public, is also going to appear.

The hurdles will be about three feet nine inches high, and crected in the English manner of wattles, under the direction of the celebrated Dr.

Dixon, of Providence, recently from England. This will be a very exciting uffair, and it is thought will be nearer to what a real hurdle race ought to be, than any that has taken place in this country before. Hops and Donvegan are the favorites against the field. Grand Pacing Match. On Tuesday, the celebrated horses James K.

Polk and John C. Calhoun come together over the Beacon Course, for $1,000 mile heuts, best three in five, in harness.

The challenge was accepted ana the time expired yesterday the naming of Barlow's opponent, which turns out to be the celebrated iwdestrian recently from England, Geo. Seward.

They would stealthily creep to the pen, and the approach of any one, was the signal for escape and my friend was obliged to lay concealed from sundown until daybreak several days, before he killed them. A sheep-killing dog is a valuable acquisition to one of these squatters.

In the fall of the year the woods abound with hogs, ranging about for roots and acorns. In November they are driven to the pens and fed two or three weeks, when they are killed for pork.

The poor magistrates, once the pride of Virginia, are, with a few exceptions, controlled by the constables, who, for the most part, are chosen from among the cunning, cheating, bulleying class. Their will is the law, and if they do wro' the ternedy is, Sue a beggar and catch a louse." The anecdote of Gen. Jackson, when Judge, taking a refractory offender by descending from the bench and mingling with the potse comitatus, sinks to insignificance when compared with the monthly exhibition of Magistrates Courts in this devoted region.

This county is 50 miles long by a medial breadth of 15, square miles, and contains a little over inhabitants, black and white, or eight persons to the square mile. There are four villages, containing about 1,000 inhabitants, reducing the number to 6 to the suuare mile consequently a vast waste of uncultivated barrens, covered with a dense growth of pines, and through which no trace or path is to be found, excepting those ofhogs, cattle or horses. Wild turkies are nearly asplenty as tame ones, on account of the numerous rogues who supply the hucksters. Partridges, pheasants and ducks, in season, innumerable. The woods abound with persimmons and Walnuts, chesnuts, cliinkopins and cherries, apples and peaches, grow wild in those barrens.

This is really the poor mau's country, the land of equal rights, where means of subsistence are so easily obtained that very few work more ihnn the savages of the far west. The inhabitants of this region, although uneducated, have a much better knowledge of the causes and effects of the American Revolution than the mad fanatics of the north. The anniversary of independence is always celebrated here in the ancient form of mustering the militia, at which place the old men meet to eat and drink and tell tales of military life in the Revolation and last war, and the young to dance and frolic under the booths erected on the muster-field, madejwith forks, poles and bushes.

Among all the pleasant little retreats that are being ever)- year brought to light by enterprising travellers, tnd those who, satiated with the expensive, and ne may properly say, fatiguing amusements of the li.rge watering places, run into the other extreme, select the quietest and most out of the way little villages lor the purpose of rusticating and invigorating their frames that have become languid from the effects of a winter's dissipation 1 say, among all such places, this little village may be held up as a pattern one, as quiet, order, neatness and regularity reign supreme, and the many pleasant rides nnd walks in the vicinity render it peculiarly adapted to furnich the kind of enjoymen' tbat city visitors to the country are apt to appreciate most.

There is a little temple erected close to the place from whence the water bubbles torth, and in the immediate vicinity, the inhabitants by subscription have erected a "scupp." and on a fine evening the scene at the spring becomes quite animated, us part iei from ail corners of the country within reach of horse and wagon come pouring in, aud utter drinking the water, singing, timing, and laughing, the evening is generally concluded with a dance on the green, realising the scenes that one sometimes sees on the stage; at the end of the first act, when, as the bills express it, "there is a grand rural dance by all the chancers." liut amusements are not the only feature to be met with. There is considerable business done, and an extensive manufactory is at work, viz. for the making of tiles, earthenware, tor which purpose it appears the clay here is adapted, and quite a heavy business 111 that line is transacted.

The storey and mechanics' workshops appear also to have plenty to do. ThereHs also an advantage which thin place enjoys over many others, whicn is, that the communication with the city is quick and safe. Sate did 1 say No I must qualify that expression There are two modes of reaching the city, one by the way of itahway, there taking the trains that pass through at various times during the day? the other by the steamboat Karitan, that passes along the Sound every day, touching ul the various landings, and a stage to meet, which leaves the village every morning and returns every evening, bringing back the oassengers; but alas, unless like the Irishman, one lite is insured, it is foolhardy risking it in the stage. We have all heard of Tom Hood's tat man, who looked like "tw? single gentlemen rolled into one." Fancy a stage calculated to hold twelve, crammed on a hot summer's afternoon with twenty-six passengers, piloted by an insolent driver. Here are twenty-six compressed into twelve.

But this arises from the mode ot transacting business on board the boat, where they will sell tickets for the stage to as many as ask tor them, and at the same time provide sucn limited accommodation as do, crowning the whole by putting them under the charge of drivers who fully support their own character. The route, by way ot Jersey City to New Brunswick throughout, is decidedly the pleasantest, safest, and most expeditious. The tonl want of opposition to the steamboat from that place, causes them to overload their boat to such a degree with cattle, freight and passengers, that it is extraordinary no accident takes place, as it certainly would, should a souall come on while it was in the bay. We make these remarks for the purpose of pointing out to the public, in time, what dangers they run in fact, the other morning, in consequence of the shitting of some of the freight, the boat rolled so heavily, that the cabin was deluged with water, and had there been the slightest breeze, the whole affair would have proved very serious. The lamentable catastrophe of the Swallow, and other boats, teach us to be careful of patronizing lines that show so little regard to the safety ot passengers.

An opposition boat is talked of, and 1 trust will be put in force in the meantime, I intend patronizing the railroad. Haying and harvesting are just now going on with great spirit, and from what 1 have seen of the country all the crops appear to be of the first class this year, though some of the farmers tell me that the hay nus fallen oil considerably; however, farmers like sailors, are always grumblers, and 1 dare say they are as well off for grass as they deserve. The Heraid I see is very well patronized here, in fact the mail carrier's parcel daily is made up of that paper principally, for the postmaster informs me that the new Post Office law has not produced any increase in the number of letters; thus Uncle Sam may now be said to be running a mail expressly for your accommodation, free gratis and for nothing as this Post Office conies within the thirty mile distance that papers go free. There is one singular fact connected with this place there is not a lawyer in it," and those who require law have to go elsewhere Strange, is it not 1 I thought those gentry would be found everywhere. 1 purpose making some excursions shortly, and if any thing turns up I shall inform yon thereof.
